I realise I forgot the URL! Scribefire is a Firefox plugin (I’ve just discovered that if you’ve on a webpage, & try to add a link, it assumes that you want it from that page; neat!) I couldn’t get it to post to two blogs simultaneously, but I could do one after the other. What…
Category: Blogs, RSS etc
Just testing Scribefire.
I have two blogs – one at http://dukee.myweb.port.ac.uk and one at http://eduspaces.net/emmadw/weblog. Until recently (? updating to WordPress 2.7) I was able to just blog on the userweb blog – and the eduspaces (which is Elgg powered) picked up the RSS feed & incorporated it. It no longer seems to. So, I’ve decided to try…

Wikipedia tools
Visual Wikipedia lets you see how different pages are related in Wikipedia. Here’s what it thinks about Portsmouth: Via: Freetech4teachers Meanwhile Googlepedia shows the Wikipedia page for a search term, alongside the Google results….
100 top sites for the year ahead
The Guardian has listed its predictions for the 100 top sites for the year ahead: . There are some sites that are new to me in there (such as loopt & walkit [hope they start to expand to other cities]) – however, I’m surprised at how few Google based tools are in there (e.g. Bloglines…
Just updated to WordPress 2.7
So far, so good. I had to update a couple of plugins, but so far, it all seems to work….
Bye, Bye, N-85 :(
I’ve now had an N85 for a fortnight’s trial, thanks to Womworld. So, my overall thoughts. I’d orginally wanted it to see how well our eLearning tools work on it. Unfortunately, the VLE wasn’t that easy to navigate using it. It’s very much designed for a large screen (and uses frames), so perhaps expecting it…
Ning: The Marmite of Social Networks.
You love it or loathe it. I’ve recently read several posts singing the praises of Ning. I’ve had an account on it for quite some time & I’ve yet to learn to love it in the way that some do. It does have some very good points – quite a lot in fact: It’s very…
UPSU.net
Last week, Terry King & I went to the “International Elgg Conference” at Brighton University. Some of you are, no doubt, sick of me “banging on” about Elgg, (I see it’s recently won the InfoWorld “Best Open Source Social Networking” software recently) Other Universities (e.g. Brighton, Westminster [theirs is closed, so the link is to…
N 85 – still getting online!
I thought that I’d more or less sorted out the certificate issue. I have found it now – in what appears to be the correct place … and, have managed to set it to “trusted” – which it wasn’t after I’d installed it. However, the other day I found a place where I could define…
